being the fountain Of truth, justice,
knowledge, wisdom and intelligence;
that is. knowing all things. past, present
and future. organized the human part |
of this world on the monogmatic plan.
In time jealousies and wickedness crept |
in, through which Cain slew his brother |
Abel. After which Cain seems to have
dwelt alone, Tor rather with his class.
Wickedness still kept increasing until
Cams grandson introduced plurality Of
wive.. Then he committed murder.
He then said to his two wives, Ada and
Zilla, / have slain a man. young man.
II Cain should be avenged seven times,
truly Lamech seventy times seven.
What an enormous criminal he was.
Still he is the father Of this wicked prac.
tice polygamy. Well time passed on and
wickedness kept increasing. Finally the
consummation came. The sons Of God
looked upon the daughters Of men and
saw they were fair aud comedy, took to
themselves as many wives a. they chose.
Just so now, the Mormon elders look
upon the daughters OF men and end them
fair and comedy and take wives Is many
as they can. But in those ancient times,
God saw the wickedness Of man was
very great and on that account deter.
mined to destroy them. But He found
Noah and his three sons, who were all
monogomists, and those he planned to
save. But as history records. God did
not save polygamist man, woman or
child. SO God started the world again
on His original plan. But after Noah's
day wickedness began to increase again
in the world, and with it plurality Of
wives. The Jews practiced it, but
more by suffrage than otherwise. Oc.
casionally prophet would denounce the
sin. As Milichi and Jesus in the saying:
I'm the beginning God created them, male
and female, for this cause man should
have father and mother and cleave unto
his wife and they twain, not two, three
or half dozen, but they twain should be
one Hesh." st. Paul did not favor it;
also the virgin men spoken Of in the Re.
Violations. certainly were not polygs-
mists. Again. the book Of Mormon and
book Of Doctrine and Covenants. which
will certainly be authority to Mormons,
both denounce plurality Of wives, calling
it wicked and unclean, etc. Also We
find recorded in their church paper, pu,
blished in Eauvoo, and entitled ths
Times and Seasons. that in 1894, Jo
seph and Hyram Smith denounced po
lygamy and cut an elder off from the
church for preaching it, calling it a false
and abominable doctrine. Yet, with oil
this and much more staring them in the
face, they persist in the vile practice
They will squirm, wriggle, lie. sweal
falsely, cheat steal and murder; yes
search hell and its vile surroundings t.
find and produce reasons and excuses fol
the vile practice. Then why should il
be dealt with so tenderly, seeing it en-
slaves women and tran,ples upon thei
hearts, which makes them most miserabl,
and wretched. This short review ma,
cause the honest at heart, if there ar,
any. to ahink seriously. Again, il Coz
is the real author Of that polygamou
revelation, then it is as clear as nooI
day. He has gone back on himself. Tha
is He has ignored His original plan ant
teachings. Hence is no longer God. H
that is doing this may be vacillatin
Mormon deity, but cannot be the grea
head and organizer Of the earth and It
fullness. This is as plain as that tw
and two make four. Then it is also evi
dent that the only religion there is i
Mormonism is the cloak that is used I
hide its vile corruptions, this none ar
parently see but the leaders. Then VIII
, should Congress and some U. s. officer
be so tender in the Furnishing Of sue
gross and vile wickedness.
On arriving at Milford, on their wa
